We liked Zopa.com (consumer to consumer lending), daylo.com (consumers buying, selling and exchanging services in their local area), fundable.org (aggregating consumer demand), and we certainly like YorZ, a community designed to help consumers refer candidates for great jobs and make money from it. All these ventures are turning consumers into prosumers if not minipreneurs, while giving a new meaning to the concept of intermediation; they’re middlemen on behalf of consumers, not only saving consumers money but also helping them make money.
